What are the test items for Subject 2 in Zhejiang Province?

[DelAdriel]

The test items for car licenses C1 and C2 include reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope (canceled for C2), right-angle turns, curve driving (commonly known as S-curve), and in some areas, a sixth item of high-speed toll card collection. The full score for Subject 2 is 100 points, with evaluation criteria set for failure, deductions of 20 points, 10 points, and 5 points. A total score of 80 points or above is required to pass the test. If the applicant fails the Subject 2 test on the first attempt, they can retake it once. If they do not take the retest or fail the retest, the test is terminated, and the applicant must reschedule the test after ten days. Within the validity period of the driving skill test permit, the number of test appointments for Subject 2 and Subject 3 road driving skills tests cannot exceed five times. If the applicant fails the fifth test, the results of other subjects that have been passed will be invalidated.

I've been a driving instructor for eleven years, guiding over a thousand students through the Subject 2 test. In Zhejiang Province, both C1 and C2 licenses now test five items: reversing into a garage must be completed within 210 seconds, and the vehicle must not cross the lines; for parallel parking, the wheels must not touch the corner lines of the garage, with a time limit of 90 seconds; curve driving focuses on adjusting with the rearview mirrors—touching the lines with the wheels results in an immediate fail; for right-angle turns, the turn signal must be activated in advance, and the bumper must not extend beyond the road edge line; the positioning for stopping on a slope is particularly strict—the vehicle must be within 30 centimeters of the road edge line to pass. The steering wheel feel of the test car differs significantly from that of older training cars, so it's advisable to take a test drive beforehand to adapt.

Let me tell you the real deal from the workshop. The hill start in Zhejiang's manual transmission test is a killer! You've got to keep the clutch pedal steady as a rock – if the tachometer goes over 3000 rpm, you're done. Automatic transmission test-takers have it much easier; since last year, they don't have to do the hill start, just reverse parking, parallel parking, 90-degree turns, and S-curves. There's a trick to reverse parking: adjusting the rearview mirror lower makes it easier to see the corner lines of the parking space, but many test cars have blind spots in their mirrors. Now, all test centers in the province are equipped with GPS positioning devices that can detect if the wheels are off the line by as little as 3 mm – way stricter than in our day.

A new driver who just got their license last year said: The clutch on the Citroën used in the test was much lighter than my old Jetta at home! For reverse parking, the key is to remember 'turn the wheel fully when your shoulder passes the line'—better to turn early than late. Parallel parking is simpler; just align the wiper bump with the edge line and straighten the wheel. The trickiest part was the curve driving—when you can't see the line with the front of the car, you have to rely on feel. Some candidates were penalized for sticking their heads out the window. The markings at Jiaxing test site were very clear, while at some older test sites in Wenzhou, the worn-out markings required extra caution.
